“This book will hurt you and you will say thank you. You can preorder now (here it is on Amazon and Barnes and Noble more preorder links here.) I really, truly, cannot wait to share Kyr’s story with all of you.Īnd here’s what some other people had to say:

SOME DESPERATE GLORY is out on April 4 2023. When Command assigns her brother to certain death and relegates her to the nursery to bear sons until she dies trying, she knows must take humanity’s revenge into her own hands.Īlongside her brother’s brilliant but seditious friend and a lonely, captive alien, Kyr escapes from everything she’s known into a universe far more complicated than she was taught and far more wondrous than she could have imagined.Ī thrillingly told queer space opera about the wreckage of war, the family you find, and who you must become when every choice is stripped from you, Some Desperate Glory is award-winning author Emily Tesh’s highly anticipated debut novel. Kyr is one of the best warriors of her generation, the sword of a dead planet. Raised in the bowels of Gaea Station alongside the last scraps of humanity, she readies herself to face the Wisdom, the powerful, reality-shaping weapon that gave the majoda their victory over humanity. Since she was born, Kyr has trained for the day she can avenge the murder of planet Earth. And it’s a book about how sometimes your queer found family is your fellow cult survivors who hate you, a horrible gremlin boy who won’t stop doing crimes, the cutest alien you’ve ever met, and your literal brother. It’s a book about survival, and hope, and change. It’s a book about the end of the world, and what happens after. It’s a book about being the very worst person imaginable, and then trying to be better. I don’t want to boast, but I really do think this book is the best thing I’ve ever written. I am unbelieveably excited to share the cover for my debut novel SOME DESPERATE GLORY with all of you.
